Issue RESOLVED:
With the help from Ms. Lisa Bauman and her boy friend Greg (Both are VX owners), I was able to identify the cause of the issue. The plug wire for the "Fuel System Evaporative Canister" rubbed on the side of a metal piece to the point where the plastic shielding completely rubbed off and the wire was touching metal. It was easy to spot the burn marks. Applying some electric tape and using a zip tie to make sure the wire never rubs again did the trick. This box is on the bottom of the VX in front of the gas tank on the passenger side right above the rear axle.
I highly recommend you all check that plug wire...we all have the same VX. I did not do anything special to cause this issue...I just drove the VX then it eventually happened...So make sure you are not next.
Thanks to all of you for giving me tips and trying to help me and special thanks for Lisa and Greg...After 6 weeks of total frustration the VX is on the road again.
